   Well, I finally got Minix going nicely on my hard-drive, though
it was a bit of a pain to do off of floppies; especially as Minix
seems to LOVE to eat perfectly good floppies (just reformat, and they
are as good as new, even Minix thinks so).  Minix runs fine, on my
machine, a IBS system 2000, with a V20, 2 floppies, and a HardDrive
(with wd1002 controler).  Once I applied the fixes for the controller,
the hard-drive worked fine, but my Tecmar Graphics Master (in CGA
emulation mode), gives the same symptoms as the EGA cards.  I havn't
had a chance to try the fix posted for that, but I will let you know
what happens when I do.

   Well, I think that is everything for those who keep the lists,

	          Happy Hacking,

                      S. John Banner
